The daily chart reveals critical support levels at $176 (0.618 Fibonacci retracement) and $152 (0.786 Fib), coinciding with a high-demand zone.

On Dec. 20, SOL found support at $176, initiating a consolidation phase within the symmetrical triangle. The pattern is a precursor to a decisive move, with volume and RSI shifts likely providing confirmation.

SOL Price Prediction 

On the 1-hour chart, Solana is pressuring resistance near $193, pointing to potential bullish momentum.

The price action suggests the completion of Waves 1 and 2, with Wave 3 targeting $230. A bullish breakout could drive the price toward higher Fibonacci retracement levels, while a bearish move would invalidate this scenario, sending SOL toward deeper support levels.
